Explanation:
1 mega Hertz = 1000000 hertz
m = mass = 5 kg
= initial velocity = 100 m/s
= final velocity = ?
I = impulse = 30 Ns
Using the impulse-change in momentum equation
I = m( - )
30 = 5 ( - 100)
= 106 m/s
The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.
-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of
the force AND by the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still
</u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>. </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>. All we know is that
one force must have been removed.
-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going.
-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?
-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?
-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?
I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.
